Brad and his female duo were amazing for my Moms 80th birthday celebration. They played everything I asked for and kept our guest entertained. Brad was also able to accommodate playing a music file for me for our fireworks show. Thank you for a great experience!

Thank you so much Kimberly! And thank you for inviting me into your wonderful home. I loved spending the July 4th holiday with you and your people. It was such an amazing set up that I didn't even mind the Texas heat that day. Y'all know how to throw a great party, I'm so glad I was a part of it.

April 9, 2024Band was awesome!
Brad and Hannah played an event for a small group of 30 over the weekend and were fantastic. They have an incredible range of music on tap and were very engaging with the audience the whole night through. They definitely took our party to the next level. I wouldn't hesitate to bring them in again. Next level stuff!

What to expect
Brad Thompson & The Undulating Band are an exciting and professional live act. From his solo show on up to the large eight piece band, Brad and his bandmates deliver energy and fun without fail. Their repertoire runs the gamut of over 60 years of popular music. From the classics like Nat "King" Cole and Sinatra to 50's and 60's rock, Motown, country, 70's, 80's and current hits, they have a vast song list to draw from.
We know that live music is an extremely important part of most any event and we strive to make it a glorious time and better than you ever imagined.
About
I was born and raised in Grand Prairie, TX. Was always drawn to music. Mom and dad both played. I remember my first turntable, it only played 45’s. I nearly destroyed that thing trying to learn songs like Classical Gas by Mason Williams, Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin, the riff to Hendrix’s Purple Haze and lots of others. Went to The University of North Texas in Denton for guitar and vocal performance, and also Cedar Valley College in Dallas for their audio engineering program. Dropped out of both though. Toured a good bit of the U.S. all through the nineties with my group, Brad Thompson & The Undulating Band. We made several recordings, won some awards, saw some beautiful places and played with tons of talented people along the way. Best time ever!
Currently I keep a busy schedule with live performances, songwriting, making videos and playing private events. Shows can vary from me as a solo act to my eight piece band and various configurations in-between. My core five piece is probably the most common. We play events as an original band showcasing my own material and we also work as a party band with a song list that spans seventy years. We play everything from Sinatra to Van Halen to George Strait to Dua Lipa.
I try to keep an element of service in my schedule by regularly playing for our Nation’s War Veterans, assisted living centers, serving on a fundraising committee for the Ronald McDonald House Fort Worth and playing at my local church. I currently live in the beautiful city of Fort Worth, TX with my wife who is a medical illustrator and we have four kids.
Watcher of classic movies like Beetlejuice, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Forrest Gump, especially with my kids. Serious about playing Gaga Ball. Big fan of this band from NY called October Project – specifically their first two albums. Wrote my first song when I was 14. Heavy consumer of Takis and Slurpees from 7-11. Fan of Escape (The Pina Colada Song). Proud owner of a mini-van. Collector of books and record albums. Fan of brussel sprouts. Knows Karate. Holds an impressive high score in Galaga. Still has my entire Hot Wheels collection from when I was a kid. Successfully stalked Lyle Lovett on one occasion.
